Three Steps in Potty Training a Puppy

1. Set up the mpuppes meals to promote the call of nature - There's a specific amount of time that a puppies digestive system needs to go through its cycle and get from meal to waste. This is different from puppy to puppy so watch the amount of time it takes your puppy to do it's business after a full meal. You might need several monitoring sessions to determine the average amount of time required but once that's established you can proceed to step two.

2. Will you potty train inside or out - Make a decision about whether you want your puppy to do its business in doors or out of doors. Remember, what's important is what's convenient for you because you can go either way. It does not make a difference if you are potty training puppies indoors or out of doors you still need to clean up after it.

3. Paper or plastic - If you decide to train your puppy to do its business in the house, then you need a lot of newspaper and scent-spray which you can get at most pet stores.

a. Whenever your puppy needs to relieve itself lay down a generous stack of newspapers and spray a small amount of scent spray on it.

b. Make sure the puppy stays in the newspaper covered area and remains there until it relieves itself. Right after it does let it smell the scent sprayed on the newspaper.

c. Repeat b until your puppy gets used to the newspaper or the scent it will look for either of the two next times it needs to relieve itself.

If you are training the puppy to do its business outdoors then just take it out for a walk. It will eventually find a spot after a while and assume the position. Don't forget to clean up after your puppy does it's business. After a while, your puppy gets used to this method, he/she will give signs of needing and wanting to go out doors when it feels the need to do its business.

And there you have it three sure fire easy steps for potty training puppies. It doesn't cost much; it doesn't take rocket science, not even awkwardly expensive gadgets - just a good amount of patience.
